Black Pine Meeting.

A meeting of the stockholders ofthe Black
Pine Mining Company was held yesterday
afternoon at the Office of Secretary Harper,
over Hoge & Brownlee's bank. The meet.
ing was held principally to elect two new
members to the board of directors in place oil
Messrs. Flint and Wallace. Patrick Talent
and J. E. Richard were chosen to fill the
vacancies.
The Sheriff's sale of the property belong
ing to the company. which was advertised
to take place yesterday at P%hilipsburg. did
not occur, a postponement being taken un-
til to-day. Knowing ones say that a still
further postponement ia liable to occur
when the hour of sale this morning arrives,
A few days ago an estimate was made on
the amalgam and quicksilver belonging to
the company. The former was thought to
weigh about 27S pounds, and the later to
consist OF ten TASKS. Since the estimate
was made 1T has been learned that there is
considerable more of both articles.
A desperate effort ia being made by the
stockholders to raise the amount OF the
indebtedness-$4O COCOON the property,
and it is thought that such an end will be
accomplished in a few days.

A Smooth Transaction.

On Sunday night two men entered Shill-
ing & Shea's saloon, in the basement OF the
Lizzie block, and called for drinks. The
beverage was passed over the bar by the
barkeeper and consumed by the men. After
the liquor had been swallowed and the
foam occasioned thereby wiped from their
lips. one OF the men pulled from his pocket
a check on Clark & Larabie's bank and
offered it in payment for the drinks. The
check was drawn by the Parrot Mining
Company and made payableto bearer. and
its face r. presented $112.5O. Mr.. Shilling
took the check, and. suppo~ing it to he all
right, handed out $l12.25 charge. The
men pocketed the money and walked out
OF the place and have not since been seen.
Yesterday morning the proprietors took
the check to the bank to have it cashed,
but it was rejected by the paying teller on
the ground OF being a forgery.
The parties who f.laF ed the smooth game
were fairly well dressed and one Of the
OF the saloon said he thought
they were workingmen as their hands were
caloused. =

COWBOY VS.. Clerk.

A difficulty with fists occurred yesterday
afternoon in the store of Casey & Brophy,
on Main street. A man who has been run
ming the firms ranch. came to the city and
loaded up with ishing whisky. After he
became Comfortably funny" to use his
own expression, he imagined himself once
more on the wild and woody COW range
(where the heighth of every mans ambition
is to wear a pair of ''shaps," draw his
months salary, squander the same for
forty-rod whisky, and be disagreeable)
and started in to have a little fun with one
Of the clerks in the store. he had on a
pair of "shaps," or whatever they are,
which had a decided tendency to
make him look bad, and his fiery steed
stood hitched to a past in front of the
store, in case of an emergency. After he
had run things awhile to suit himself, the
clerk came to the conclusion that it was
about time to call a halt. which he did by
hitting the fellow on the right cheek, max
ing the blood run The combat was sh ort,
but decisive. The drunken man walked to
the outside OF the store and invited bis
clerkship to go over to the ranch, where he
could get fair play. The clerk refused to
accept the invitation, and the cowboy
climbed to the hurricane roof of his horse
and started off on a gait that would have
brought $40 and costs in most any city
court.
